Fertility coaching for natural conception & ivf success
Fertility coaching can improve pregnancy rates and quality of life while trying to conceive (van Dijk et al, 2017) (Li et al, 2016). I work with women, couples and sole parents. The component parts include…
Emotional & psychological support
- listening 
- reducing anxiety 
- exploring feelings, emotions and goals 
- identifying and removing emotional blocks 
- guiding through your journey 
Nutritional therapy
- improving hormone balance and metabolism 
- improving oocyte quality 
- improving sperm quality 
- support with natural fertility and IVF cycles 
- preparing the body for pregnancy 
Mentoring - practical guidance
- assessing the stage you are at 
- discussing natural fertility monitoring & enhancement 
- suggesting investigations if needed 
- recommending specialists and clinics that are appropriate to you 
- support through each stage of IVF 
I’m a professional coach (University of Cambridge), and a member of the Association for Coaching. I have long experience as a specialist fertility nutritionist and acupuncturist, working alongside many IVF clinics both here and abroad, and have a background in nursing with obstetric experience.
